Definitions

  • This invention relates generally to hinges or butt hinges, and more specifically to improved means to prevent the wear of the abutting or opposed ends of pintle-receiving knuckles on the leaves of a butt hinge.
  • the leaves of a butt hinge in general use have interfitting, axially aligned knuckles along their opposed marginal edges for receiving a pintle or pin therethrough, so that the leaves are swingable one with respect to the other on the pintle.
  • the abutting ends of the knuckles are highly susceptible to wear and noise production due to frictional forces exerted thereon in the use of the hinge.
  • Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 48-4607 discloses a typical example of such means, which comprises a pair of plastic rings mounted between the opposed ends of each two adjacent knuckles. Each ring has an integral pin projecting into an internal recess in the knuckle with which the ring is in contact.
  • This prior art means is not truly simple in configuration or easy and economical to manufacture as compared with the means of the instant invention.
  • the invention relates to a pair of rings of wear resisting material which are installed between the opposed ends of each two adjacent knuckles of a hinge so as to receive the usual pintle therethrough.
  • Each ring has a pair of fingers formed integral therewith in coplanar relationship. The fingers of the paired rings straddle or embrace the opposed adjacent edges of the hinge leaves respectively.
  • the rings with their fingers are of absolutely planar configuration, they are easily and inexpensively mass-producible by punching sheet metal, plastic or like wear-resisting material.
  • Another advantage of the invention resides in the ease of assemblage of a complete hinge, as the planar rings are readily installable between the aligned knuckles of the two leaves. Although the rings may first be installed displaced in the axial direction of the knuckles, they can be readily slid into position along the opposed edges of the leaves, as there is no opening with which the fingers must register.
  • FIG. 1 is an exploded perspective view of a butt hinge incorporating the improved means of this invention
  • FIG. 2 is a front elevational view showing the hinge of FIG. 1 in completely assembled form
  • FIG. 3 is a top plan view of the hinge of FIGS. 1 and 2.
  • a butt hinge has a pair of rectangular leaves 10 and 11 having screw holes 12 of suitable construction and relative placement.
  • the leaf 10 has a pair of axially aligned, spaced knuckles 13, 13 along its marginal edge opposed to the corresponding edge of the other leaf 11. These knuckles 13 are adapted to receive therebetween a knuckle 14 on the opposed edge of said other leaf 11.
  • the knuckle 14 is somewhat shorter in length than the usual space between the knuckles 13, 13.
  • the knuckles 13 and 14 on both leaves are thus interfittable in axial alignment.
  • the leaves 10 and 11 with their knuckles 13 and 14 may each be an integral aluminum extrusion.
  • the axially aligned knuckles 13 and 14 receive the shank portion of a pintle 15 having a head 16.
  • a retainer ring 17 retains the pintle 15 within the knuckles 13 and 14.
  • a pair of rings 18 is interposed between each of the opposed ends of the adjacent knuckles 13 and 14.
  • These rings 18 are made of wear resisting material such as stainless steel or other hard metal or plastic.
  • Each ring corresponds in shape and size to the cross section of the knuckle 13 or 14 and has a pair of parallel spaced fingers 19 that are arranged in slight displacement from the diameter of the ring.
  • the pair of fingers 19 has a sufficient spacing to receive the knuckle-carrying marginal edge of the leaf 10 or 11 and is in coplanar relationship to the ring 18.
  • the pair of rings 18 are interposed between the opposed ends of each two adjacent ones of the interfitted knuckles 13 and 14, and with the knuckle 14, fill the space between the knuckles 13.
  • the pairs of fingers 19 of the respective rings 18 straddle or embrace the opposed edges of the respective leaves 10 and 11.
  • the pintle 15 is then inserted into the aligned knuckles 13 and 14 and rings 18 and is secured by the retainer ring 17.
